Kim - like Jols said Chels may just be having an off day, she may also be filling herself up at night and not want to feed daytimes. But if she continues to refuse her day bottles over a week and she is getting her solids into her she may be weaning. This article has some info...

also this is from another BB article:

Did you know that you would be having a cup of coffee at four o’clock this afternoon, or did you just feel like one? Did you tell your work colleagues you wouldn’t be able to have lunch with them at midday because you are not scheduled to eat until one o’clock? Doesn’t your hunger and thirst change according to the weather and your own activity level? As adults, we eat and drink according to our own body signals... and babies do too....

See how she goes - Jake has been dropping his morning BF everyday and somedays isn't too interested in his arvo feed, has a few sucks and is off and running.

She may however also be coming down with something - eg an ear infection it hurts to suck and chew as I have just learnt - and it is normal for them to go off their food when sick, getting sick or teething.

Have I confused you? Sorry if I have...

Those sharp top teeth hurt don't they Vicky! Jake has settled down with the biting now - apparently is a symptom of teething. Try some bonjela on him about 10 - 20 mins b4 a feed might help sooth the gums.....
